So i was asked this questions by someone who just joined this thread. I'm sharing it on the forum in hope that other new traders that have the same questions could just find it here. Other traders are welcomed to comment also.

Thank you so much. I was wondering how effective eelfranz's system has been for you so far. Also what are the current exact rules and indicators. I didn't seem to be able to find it as it seems that the system might have changed a little after his original post when this group was first started?
I would greatly appreciate your help. Thx.


how effective it is?
it is quite effective actually, especially when i combine 4htf with daily trend. Its quite effective to get into the start of a move. i mostly use 1h tf to get back into the trend. but the easiest is to stick with 4h TF or daily.

Indis?
still the same really, Synergy APB for the candle strength and TDI.
TDI is the most important. You can also add ema5shift2 to determine the trend. But really, TDI and APB are all you need.
the rules are still the same

setup entry on cross. Do not go on candle 3 or more if prices have moved (i have begin not to count the previous candle if they are small and ranging). Later on when you have more experience you can modified this. but the general rule is TDI cross APB candle 1 or 2 for setup entry.

The changes are mostly due to our own experiences. for example from what i gathered, emmanuel stresses MM and trend, Phx62 is more of PA since he goes on hourly chart and hourly chart needs a good understanding of PA. SJ uses guppy for trend and entries. it really depends on your trading style. once you adopt the system, you will inadvertently tweak it to suit your own. The basic however is still the same. Think of it this way, we can all have the same car with the same engine. but our time in lap is different because of the way we handle the car. In this case, the car is the basic of TMS, our driving skill is from our experience. you can go attack the lap aggressively and have higher risk, or you can go at it conservatively and have lower risk. The payout is all on your take.

also important to note that backtesting will help you alot. The more hours you spend looking at the chart, the easier it is for your brain to recognize chart patterns.

Hope this help.

Hi Everyone! Hope you all had a great year and that you will spend some time away from you graphs and spend it with family! Use this as motivation that it is really possible or just leave it.. I used to always blame the timeframes and missed opportunities for not really moving ahead....I have been profitable for a few years now but there was no real consistency.. up 10%..down 6%..up 3%..down 8%..etc. $5k became $25k but it's been a rough journey. About 3/4 months ago after some of Emmanuel's post I really started to work on my game plan. Some of...
Bigpips,

Nice meeting you & welcome to Tms.

By my calculations you have 75% winners & 25% losers.
Which is excellent...Keep on trucking!
I think the 4 hour & daily charts are the cat's meow
Thank you for your statistics.

Greenb,

That was a excellent reply and very true!
Some of us have tweaked the basic Tms just a bit to fit our skills & interest.
The longer you trade the better you get, but we understand basic Tms!

By the way, I thought this video was excellent.
It's about 1 1/2 hours long, but everyone should watch this video!
It's called "The Secret"...

Sorry, it was supposed to be Daily (not H4)
and yes I should have waited for H1 retracement just as Moretti said, to get better price..

From a 1hr perspective i won't go short at the moment..
Price is at a swing low and has printed a double bottom pattern...
Thats certainly a bulish sign..

We preferably want to trade with the daily trend and find our entries on the lower time frames..

I have attached a PDF written by Emmanuel where he elaborates on this exact subject..

I'm looking at a eur/aud short, the daily is just crossing down and the 4 hr tdi could be getting ready for a bounce down, the aussie is so weak right now and this thing has been in quite an uptrend so i'm hesitant, the R:R looks nice though, any thoughts on this people? I see support at 151.58 so maybe I should wait until it breaks?

Hi Greenb, this is really interesting... GA - did you hedge it on different TF's using TMS (or perhaps typo)?
